iPhone 5 fans have been camped out in front of the 5th Avenue Apple Store in Manhattan for days now hoping to be among the first to get their new phones, but if you want to buy an iPhone 5 in Brooklyn it may be possible to snag one by getting up early Friday morning and popping off to AT&T, Sprint or Verizon stores, many of which will be carrying the prized device.

Some Best Buy, RadioShack and Target stores say they will also carry the new iPhone. But if you want to buy an iPhone in Brooklyn on Friday, forget about Best Buy. According to the Best Buy website, NO Brooklyn stores will have them Friday.

Many people pre-ordered their phones at the carriers and Radio Shack, so stores may run out early. (Radio Shack actually offers a discount if you trade in your old iPhone 4! Plus AppleCare+ and a free 24/7 mobile support line.)

The AT&T store at 453 86th Street in Bay Ride told us via email that they open officially at 8 a.m. but the line will form before that.They said they expect a "frenzy." Other Brooklyn AT&T stores carrying the iPhone include the one at 160 Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights, 476 Fulton Street in Downtown Brooklyn, 21 Graham Avenue, and 99 7th Avenue. (They all open at 8 a.m.) Locate.

You can go on apple website and order from 10 pm to 4 am and click on instore pickup and get it the next day. I did it.It shows the stores in your area that have it in stock .Just order it and pickup next day.
